+# RCast.net is a provider for streaming servers, that also features
+# a tidy and detailed station directory. It currently hosts/lists
+# around 7700 individual stations.
+#
+# It lists direct streaming server addresses, homepages, currently
+# playing songs, bitrate etc. It's also pretty quick, but only
+# returns 10 results per page. Categories have to be collected
+# manually though.
